Mumbai's Best Teeth Whitening Dentist —
Up to 8 Shades Brighter in a Single Visit

Your whitening journey begins with a dedicated consultation — examining your teeth, gums, and existing restorations, and taking a standardised shade record before treatment begins.

• Shade mapping: Your baseline tooth shade is recorded using a standardised dental shade guide — so the improvement after treatment can be objectively measured and documented.
• Stain type assessment: We identify whether your discolouration is extrinsic (surface), intrinsic (deep), or a combination — which determines which whitening approach will be most effective.
• Honest outcome discussion: Some staining (e.g. severe fluorosis, tetracycline banding) has limited response to whitening. We will always tell you what is achievable and when another approach (like veneers) would serve you better.
• Existing restoration check: Crowns, veneers, and bonding in visible areas are noted — these do not whiten, and we will discuss how to manage this for a uniform result.

Before whitening begins, any dental health issues that could affect the safety or outcome of treatment are addressed. For many patients this step is minimal — a professional clean. For others it is essential.

• Professional scale & clean: Removes tartar, plaque, and surface staining — giving the whitening gel direct, unimpeded access to the enamel surface for the most even result.
• Cavity filling: Any active cavities are filled before whitening — open cavities allow the whitening gel to penetrate to the nerve, causing significant sensitivity or pain.
• Gum health treatment: Active gum inflammation is resolved before whitening — inflamed gum tissue is more susceptible to irritation from whitening agents.

The in-office whitening procedure is comfortable, relaxing, and impressively effective. Here is exactly what happens during your appointment at PRAXIS Dental, Mumbai.

• Gum protection: A protective resin barrier or rubber dam is applied to your gums — shielding them completely from the whitening agent before it is applied to your teeth.
• Whitening gel application: A professional-strength hydrogen peroxide gel (25–40% concentration) is precisely applied to the front surfaces of the teeth requiring treatment.
• LED light activation: An LED or laser light is directed onto the gel — activating and accelerating the whitening chemistry, boosting results significantly beyond what gel alone achieves.
• 2–3 whitening cycles: The gel is typically applied in two to three cycles of 15–20 minutes each. Between cycles, we assess progress and refresh the gel application.

Immediately after your treatment, we compare your final shade against the starting shade recorded before treatment began — and the improvement is often dramatic.

• Objective shade documentation: Your post-treatment shade is recorded alongside your pre-treatment shade — so the improvement is documented and visible to you.
• Most patients achieve 4–8 shades improvement in a single session. Combination programme patients typically achieve 6–10 shades over the full programme.
• Post-whitening care instructions: We explain the "white diet" period (48 hours of avoiding staining foods and beverages), sensitivity management, and long-term maintenance guidance in detail.

For patients on the Combination Whitening Programme, custom-fabricated take-home trays and a professional gel kit extend and consolidate the in-office result over the following 7–10 days at home.

• Custom-moulded trays: Silicone trays precisely fitted to your teeth — ensuring even gel contact across every tooth surface without uneven whitening or gel leakage onto gums.
• Professional-grade take-home gel: Clinically formulated carbamide peroxide gel — far stronger and more effective than any OTC home whitening kit — used 30–60 minutes per night.
• Sensitivity management gel: A remineralising desensitising gel is included to be applied in the trays on alternate nights — minimising any post-whitening tooth sensitivity.

Professional teeth whitening results last 1–3 years with proper maintenance. Here is how to protect and extend your investment.

• "White diet" for 48 hours: Avoid tea, coffee, red wine, curries, and tobacco for at least 48 hours post-treatment — during this window your enamel pores remain open and susceptible to re-staining.
• Whitening toothpaste: Use a gentle whitening toothpaste recommended by your PRAXIS dentist to maintain surface brightness between treatments.
• Annual touch-ups: Periodic take-home gel top-ups (every 12–18 months) at a fraction of the initial cost restore brightness lost to normal dietary staining.
• Regular check-ups: Six-monthly professional cleans at PRAXIS Dental remove accumulated surface staining and keep your smile at its brightest long-term.
